Several Signs of Blood Vessel Blockage
Disease description:
As I've gotten older, my health hasn't been very good, and I often feel anxious, worrying about blocked blood vessels or other problems. Therefore, what are the warning signs of blocked blood vessels?

Dr. Liu Feng
Signs of blood vessel blockage mainly include the following aspects:
1. Chest pain and chest tightness: Sudden chest tightness or pain may indicate coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction. Persistent chest pain requires high alert for myocardial infarction.
2. Weakness or pain in limbs: Sudden weakness in one limb may signal a stroke; when blockage occurs in the arteries of the lower limbs, leg pain while walking that improves with rest may occur, known as "intermittent claudication."
3. Edema and changes in urine output: Renal artery blockage may lead to edema, altered urine output, and even impaired kidney function.
4. Weakened pulse and blood pressure changes: Blockage of the upper limb arteries may present as a weakened pulse and low blood pressure.
5. Dizziness and headache: Blood vessel blockage may affect blood supply to the brain, causing dizziness and headaches.
6. Vision problems: Temporary vision loss, blurred vision, or black spots appearing in the visual field of both eyes may be signs of ocular artery occlusion or retinal vascular blockage.
If any of the above symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is necessary.
